In April 2022, a little over a month after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a stream of middle-aged European and American volunteers were passing through Poland on their way into Ukraine. There was the retired attorney delivering sweets to Ukrainian orphanages; the Irish former French Foreign Legion soldier carrying luggage for refugees, and the Englishman who had moved from France to help rescue pets. One American in his 60s was transporting dead frozen chicks from Poland to a zoo in western Ukraine. They called themselves the “silent army” and the “get-off-the-couch crew”.
Possibility Ryan Wesley Routh Had Informant ‘Scary’: Ex-FBI Leader
The man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump may have had inside information on his movements, a former FBI assistant director said.
Chris Swecker told Newsweek that law enforcement will have to establish how Ryan Wesley Routh appeared to know the exact details of when Trump was playing golf at a Florida resort.
A plan to rebuild and modernize two dozen decommissioned Canadian light armoured vehicles for donation to Ukraine is stuck in bureaucratic limbo more than nine months after the defence department handed the vehicles over to an Ontario company that specializes in restoration, CBC News has learned.
Defence Minister Bill Blair signed off on the transfer last January. He said negotiations between Armatec Survivability in Dorchester, Ont., and the Canadian Commercial Credit Corporation (CCC), an arm of the federal government, are still ongoing.
Zelensky loves Justin and Freeland but I suspect he will only accept cash support in future.
Republicans are demanding that Donald Trump receive the same security as Joe Biden after an unprecedented two assassination attempts on the former president in as many months.
The suspected attempt on the life of the Republican candidate at his Florida golf club on Sunday has put his security arrangements under the spotlight once again.
Trump’s round-the-clock protective detail had been bolstered following a shooting at his rally in Pennsylvania in July, during which a bullet grazed his ear.
Nothing to see here.

Elon Musk says his company SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink would be able to provide coverage to Canadian households for “less than half” the cost of a recently announced multibillion-dollar government loan to Montreal-based satellite operator Telesat to provide that service.
Musk was responding to Conservative MP Michael Barrett, who in a Sept. 14 post on X challenged the government investment. The funding consists of a combined $2.54 billion loan to Telesat, consisting of $2.14 billion from Ottawa and $400 million from the Quebec government.
Oh Oh! Someone’s place at the trough is threatened!
Liberal minister dismisses Elon Musk’s satellite offer to Canada as ‘nonsense’
ABC News’ Linsey Davis, one of two moderators for last week’s presidential debate, admitted to the Los Angeles Times that the plan was only to fact-check former President Donald Trump, and not Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trudeau government says it won’t delay possible confidence votes as Poilievre’s Conservatives hanker for election
OTTAWA—The Liberal government says it will not use delay tactics to avoid a parliamentary vote that could trigger an election this fall as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre goaded other opposition party leaders to help him immediately topple the Trudeau government.
House Leader Karina Gould said the government does not intend to play games to stave off until late fall any “non-confidence” motion the Opposition parties might bring forward nor does it intend to formally suspend, or prorogue, Parliament in order to buy time.
What do Napoleon, America’s Army War College and the liberal media have in common? The centuries-old belief that conscription is the “vitality of the nation”. With the US military hamstrung by a catastrophic personnel problem, the “draft” is being handed a new lease of life. Maybe, murmurs the DC think-tank circuit, conscription could provide America with the proverbial shot in the arm it needs: polarised internally and beset by a multitude of external challenges, the expedient of compelling young Americans to pick up rifles in service to their nation could kill two birds with one stone.
WATCH: MSNBC's Alex Witt argues *the Trump campaign* needs to turn down the rhetoric now that Donald Trump has been shot at for the second time in three months.
"Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to [tone it down]?"
OTTAWA — A pair of byelections on Monday are poised to serve as a referendum on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — and his chief opposition leaders.
One will see the Liberals fighting to spare a Montreal fortress from the fate that befell Toronto—St. Paul’s: a surprise byelection loss in a longtime stronghold.
In LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, Trudeau’s embattled party is fending off strong campaigns from the New Democrats and the Bloc Québécois in a race that will test whether voters will turn to the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh following his achievements under his now-lapsed alliance with the minority Liberals.
This is the second time Donald Trump has been targeted in an assassination attempt in the space of two months as the race for the White House enters its final stages.
The Trump campaign wasted little time in sending out an email to supporters on Sunday, asking backers for more money, but whether the latest incident leads to a change in his electoral chances remains doubtful.
Kamala Harris openly joked about assassinating President Trump in 2018 as an audience of lobotomized clapping seals cheered
Just two months after the failed Trump assassination attempt of one Thomas Matthew Crooks, we witnessed today yet another foiled one by Ryan Wesley Routh—a would-be assassin and anti-Trump/radical pro-Ukraine War social media addict.…
An Ontario school board will be audited by the province after spending nearly $40,000 on a three-day retreat.
Ontario Minister of Education Jill Dunlop announced the audit on Sept. 13, which will look into the Thames Valley District School Board’s (TVDSB) financial operations, the executive members’ compensation, and the administration of the board.
Dunlop noted that the board is operating in a deficit, and said provincial funding to school boards should go to help students and teachers. She added that the boards should show “parents, teachers and community members that they are responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.”
Politicians, bureaucrats no longer have a sense of shame. It’s just play money to them.
Ryan Wesley Routh – Batshit Crazy Leftist Wannabe Trump Assassin
The son of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt near Donald Trump’s Florida golf club on Sunday, has said his father is not a violent person and did not even believe him to own a gun.
Routh’s son, Oran Routh, reached by DailyMail.com shortly after Sunday’s shooting, said this was the first he’d heard of the alleged assassination attempt.
‘This was the first I heard about it,’ the 35-year-old exclusively told DailyMail.com. ‘Was my father shot or injured?’
Who is Ryan Wesley Routh? Donald Trump assassination attempt suspect voted for the former president before wishing he was ‘gone’, donated to Democrats and fought in Ukraine
The man who allegedly planned to assassinate Donald Trump went from voting for him in 2016 to donating to Democrats in 2020, to four years later calling him a ‘threat to democracy’ and claiming he’d ‘be glad when’ Trump’s gone.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, is in custody after aiming an AK-47 rifle barrel towards Trump when he was golfing at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday. He is expected to be charged overnight.
2.5 minutes of Democrats explicitly calling for using political vioIence.
Trump assassination attempt sparks chilling theory into how out-of-state gunman knew about former president’s last-minute golf game
There are fears would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh had help from the inside to target the former president at his Florida golf club Sunday.
The alleged gunman has been identified as registered Democrat Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was found unarmed after fleeing the scene, leaving behind a backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle. He is now in custody.
Trump’s game was not publicly known about as it was a last-minute decision and his schedule is not provided to the press, sparking curiosity as to how Routh knew Trump would be on the greens.
NEW: Suspected would-be Trump assas*in was previously interviewed by Newsweek Romania, started crying during the interview as he begged people to "come fight."
Ryan Routh was arrested after an assas*ination attempt on Donald Trump.
A degree of skepticism and mistrust of governments is a good thing. No elected officials or bureaucrats should get a pass or be gifted with blind trust. Government actions often don’t have the wellbeing of citizens at heart and the state should always be viewed with a skeptical eye.
All that said, a degree of trust in governments is essential for a democracy to function. People must have a little faith and be willing to cooperate with the government at times. When the balance has been thrown off and healthy skepticism of the government has morphed into cynicism, things can go bad quickly.
For those on both sides of the political spectrum who would push children to further their own agendas, Greta’s iconic question rings clear: How dare you?
Recently, Greta Thunberg was arrested at a protest outside the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. This was not Thunberg’s first run-in with the law; the first time she was detained was during a protest against the expansion of a coal mine in Germany. Ironically, Germany would hardly need to expand the use of coal were it not for the country’s rejection of nuclear power, something Greta herself belatedly admitted.
